Caiger & Co Catering

What Caiger & Co Catering does

Caiger & Co. Catering Ltd. is a privately held, founder-led bespoke catering and event planning company founded in 2012 by Alix Caiger and headquartered in Battersea, London. The company designs and delivers end-to-end events — food production, staffing, logistics, and styling — for four primary client segments: private clients (high-net-worth individuals and families), corporate and brand clients (fashion, beauty, and corporate entertainment), weddings, and cultural and arts events. Service offerings include private dining, canapés and receptions, sharing bowls, three-course plated meals, fine dining, and an Asado BBQ experience, all built around seasonal, British-first sourcing and a low-waste kitchen philosophy.

The business model is project-based professional services revenue, with bespoke menus written from scratch for each event and pricing structured per guest across multiple tiers (canapés and receptions from £12+ per guest up to three-course plated meals at £95–£150+ per guest). A £500+VAT minimum applies, with a 90% deposit one month before the event and a 10% balance post-event, and no minimum or maximum guest count. The go-to-market motion is founder-led direct sales: every enquiry is assigned an Event Manager who guides the client from discovery call (Calendly) through menu tasting in the Battersea tasting room to event delivery. Marketing is content-driven via The Caiger Edit blog, Instagram (@caigerandco), newsletter, and PR features in Vogue and Tatler, supported by a venue-network referral channel across London galleries, heritage venues, and private estates.

The company operates with a permanent team of 21 supplemented by long-standing freelancers and holds London Living Wage employer status. Technology infrastructure is non-proprietary, built on WordPress (WP Engine, ManageWP) with Calendly, Mandrill/Mailchimp, and Cloudflare. Caiger & Co is part of The Fendale Group hospitality conglomerate alongside Archies, Spoilt for Choice, Pillars, A Plate for Change, and The Pie Man. Sustainability is positioned centrally: 100% electric delivery fleet, eight supplier swaps completed in 2025, Mossy Earth rewilding membership, and a Silver Sustainability award at the London Venue & Catering Awards with a 2025 Sustainability Caterer of the Year shortlisting.
